TylerToo, it's good to hear you recognize that it won't be a romantic relationship between the two of you - pursuing it after you have told her your feelings and she has been clear with you is a quick way to kill a valuable friendship, and she sounds like a one of the good ones... Friendships are about fun, support, and companionship. We all work hard at jobs, school, and family, so a pile of expectations generally isn't what most people are looking for in their friends. Your putting a lot of responsibility on her if she has keep calming you down and proving she is a "true friend".
Ease up on the importance of this one friendship by developing other friends as well, and I guarantee your friendship with Julia will grow. People will come and go out of your life constantly - that happens to everyone. Meeting and being interested in new people is what keeps life fun and keeps you interesting!
